The Mess of Patch 1.0.3

[silentscope1]

My DH has been nerfed to the ground, think its prettly close to about 50% dps loss

loving it, as mele finally the game makes sense, for once the range can bite a cock.

Well, in my opinion the mob damage nerfs were really over the top... I'm tanking arcane/molten/desecrator/xxx with my barb like it's just some random white trash mob.. That shouldn't be happening.

I can deal with the IAS nerf (as a WD, I rely heavily on IAS not just for increased DPS, but WD has the slowest cast animations in the game, and having high IAS makes kiting somewhat bearable as a WD) It was about an 11k dps loss, and I went from 2.19 attacks per second to 1.42.. That's a pretty hefty nerf. But what really bites my ass is the MF no longer affecting chests.. What the fuck is the point of all the clouds in Whimsyshire now? No point at all, just take them and the pinata out of the game and make it a gay rainbow land with 5 champ packs..

The damage drop is retarded. Was the attackspeed nerf to nerf the value of attack speed (since you can't really stack it that high anymore) or to nerf damage?

If they nerf attack speed they should atleast buff all current weapons that have attackspeed on them. I spend about 2m (i know its not alot) on a 1h weapon that has now become pure aids because the attack speed is pretty much gone and it dropped from 900 damage to like 750.

Besides that my first reaction was positive when playing my monk for a bit. I could actually survive grey mobs in act 2 (with 70% reduction from armor). But I also lost so much damage and attacks per second that it takes ages to get stuff down and I get less life from LoH since i attack twice as slow. I also cant keep my spirit topped off with mantra spamming because I just don't get enough spirit back. Its not enjoyable to play at all. Besides that the second elite pack I came across still trashed me hitting me for 7k (x3 since it was 3 of them) on 40k hp with the 70%.

On my demonhunter I lost about 15k dps and on my wizard about 10k. Damage seemed to be the only way to deal with certain affixes.

Anyway I find it hard to enjoy this game past inferno act 1 because certain affixes are impossible to deal with and pure damage seems to be the only way to deal with this. Now that my damage has gone down so much it's rather impossible to kill most elites. On my wizard all I can do is kite with hydra up, against teleporters / wallers / fast and probably some others that I can't come up with right now, I will still die about 8 times before I can get something down (so i make 0 gold anymore because of the repairbills).

[edit]
Also maybe this just proves this game is not for me but I really don't like farming, which is what this game is all about. Doing the same boring shit over and over again just seems like a waste of my life. It's not fun nor is it worth it 95% of the time, and against some elite/affixes it's downright frustrating. For me a game should be enjoyable and being able to bot to gear up a bit was the only way to keep this game enjoyable. When this game was released I played about 16 hours straight with a friend and we had the time of our lives but once you get to inferno act 2 it becomes frustrating rather than fun. My friend basicly quit already and without being able to bot I will probably follow very soon.

What kept me 'playing' was turning my bot on and coming back to see a proper legendary in my back and some gold.

tl;dr A game solely based on farming (without being able to bot) is a pure waste of time and the changes to attack speed made it even worse.

I'm right along with you. Honestly I can't stand to play the game, but "botting" it was fun. I was the same with WoW. I'd bot to buy gear, log in play for about 20 mins, then bot for another week.

Unfortunately I picked Barb as my class when I rolled (should have picked DH), and running from elites for 10 minutes waiting on cooldowns is not my idea of fun. If they want to make it challenging then require some skill, dodging attacks that can actually be dodged. Shielded Minion, desecrating, mortar, plagued, ice is just fucking retarded, and I don't know why I even play.

If DB doesn't come back in a week or so I'll have to find another game to affiliate on. Perhaps I may go back to StarCraft, it's been a year or so since I played but RTS really isn't my bag. WoW is old, hmmm..... what to play.

Haven't logged in since the injunction.. no idea what the state of the game is right now.

 

[Bomberman07]

before 1.03 i was easily deafeating act 1 and getting owned in act 2, now they nerfed inferno but i get owned in act 1 cuz they also nerfed my IAS time to go crit i guess

 

[somaatic]

Farming act 3 right now via ledging. Using my spare triple monk accounts to come in once the elite back is down to a slither of health left with full MF on. It aint botting but hey x3 the drops is nice i suppose. I just hate how all hate spenders for DH now blow. They need to make quite a few changes to make other choices viable. However, that aside. Whirlwind/Tornado sprint barbarian is fun as hell and I am loving it. Going to get him 60 pronto.

 

[suwu]

haha, act 3 ledge farming is where its at

been ACTUALLY playing the game since the injunction

got 3 DH friends with nerfed DPS standing behind me while i stand the elites in act 3

repair bills have will be nerfed down 50% from the increase because omg... as a barb that barely dies i am still losing $$$ (50% block $$)

 

[Lastwords]

Went from 440k Damage on my DH to 160k. Fuck you Blizzard.
